Golfing great Tiger Woods confirmed a very loosely kept secret Monday: that he and six-time reigning World Cup downhill skiing champion Lindsey Vonn are an item.

On his Facebook page, Woods wrote: "This season has been great so far and I'm happy with my wins at Torrey and Doral. Something nice that's happened off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn. Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating. We thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy. We want to continue our relationship, privately, as an ordinary couple and continue to compete as athletes."

Vonn also posted on Facebook, saying: "I guess it wasn't a well-kept secret but yes, I am dating Tiger Woods. Our relationship evolved from a friendship into something more over these past few months and it has made me very happy. I don't plan on addressing this further as I would like to keep that part of my life between us, my family and close friends. Thank you for understanding and your continued support! xo LV"

Vonn is currently nursing and rehabilitating a badly injured right knee, hoping to defend her 2010 Olympic downhill gold medal in Sochi, Russia, next year.

At Doral on March 10, Woods won his fifth golf tournament in less than a year. At the Masters, which starts April 11, Woods will attempt to win his 15th major championship, second all-time to Jack Nicklaus.

Open golf tournaments, such as the U.S. Open, are held to try and give amateurs the chance to break into the field of professional golf. Golfers participate in a series of smaller tournaments to qualify for the Open where they proceed to the big tournament where they compete against professionals. The last amateur to win a U.S. Open was back in 1933.."

It is heartbreaking to see that Vonn could be so could be so inept with relationships. However, just as intelligence lacks common sense, beauty lacks judgment.
The point is that if Woods would cheat on Ellen, Woods will certainly chest on Vonn. She is certainly ignorant if she thinks otherwise.

I've always wondered what kind of "positioning" Lindsey was into and now we all know she is into freaky action and doesn't mind a man that will sleep around on her. Is she just plain dumb, Once a cheater ALWAYS a cheater!!! Wow, I knew being a star athlete was tough but does it take all the brain cells away??

What makes Woods deed a cheat? Your society conditioned your mind to BELIEVE it is cheating ... Try to see things beyond your conditioned mind, beyond the realm of good and bad, right and wrong ...that gives you freedom from your judgemental/cursing mind.

To all you I've-never-put-a-foot-wrong, one-strike-and-you're-out, my-life-of-lies-is-better-than-yours whiners out there, shut up and suck it up already! Continuing this drivel against Tiger over a private mistake from which he and his ex-wife have since moved on only shows how miserable yourown lives are. Makes me wonder which part of "mind your business" you don't understand. To Tiger and Vonn, who have as much right as everyone else to date, love and make mistakes...good luck and God's grace!
